Started on the 115 with a 7.0 OD and tried the Tribal Weedspeed 35cm.  1st time Ive had a weedy that trucked upwind and wouln't let go!  Wind came up and dropped to the 100L slalom wit 29cm Weedspeed and went around the corner for some speed runs down the point.  Too much of a wind shadow over the flat stuff and a couple of cray boats blocking the bearaway but still fun.  Changed down to the 6.2 and lasted 2 runs before a collosal stack which ripped my harness line clean off the boom!  The weedspeed handled both the 7.0 and 6.2 on the 100L, best weedfin ever.

Put the slalom board away and tried a PD f-cross 102L and an Exocet Cross 104L.  Got just as much speed on the FSW boards as the slalom without nearly killing myself.  The F-cross especially is a chop eating machine, goes exactly where you point it and feels so nice.

Man I love Cervantes

Started the session on a 6m Turbo, 120 Patrik Freerace, Volt 38. Cruised up to the Island before the wind stepped up and had to change down to a smaller board.

Rigged the 5.5NCX, 102 Patrik F-Cross, 30 F-Wave. Had borrowed board for a try and OH MY.... what a smoking afternoon on the water. This board made a beeline through the chop without missing a beat. Love it!!!
